Honda Connectors has released its first Infiniband I/O connectors, designed for easy assembly in high-speed differential signal applications.
Industrial USB connectors latch into place
Latching USB 2.0 connectors are designed for rugged industrial environments where vibration can be an issue.
Microcoax connector supports high-speed data
Compact coaxial connectors provide economical high-speed wire-to-board connections in low-voltage digital signal applications.
This also ensures higher mechanical strength by enabling a larger 1.5mm pitch and 0.65mm pad width.
Ground contacts between each differential pair ensure high electrical performance, limiting near-crosstalk to below 4%.
Eye performance at 2.5Gbit/s exceeds 316mV and 0.75UI (300ps), ensuring outstanding signal integrity up to the maximum per-channel bitrate specified by the InfiniBand standard.
Further features of Honda's InifiniBand solution include enhanced mating through two rows of dimples between the cable plug cover and receptacle.
Stainless steel counterweights oppose movement of the PCB-mounted receptacle during reflow, thereby enhancing end of line assembly yield.
The new Honda Connectors InfiniBand range is currently available with eight differential pairs for the standard 4X interface.
Honda is planning to produce a version with 24 differential pairs conforming to the 12X interface.
InfiniBand is the open standard specification for input/output connectivity in data networks with speeds of 2.5Gbit/s and upwards.
With appropriate technology, it is infinitely scalable upwards for fast, distributed computing environments.
